There's a big celebration in the works for the 250th wedding anniversary of the marriage of Abigail and John Adams.

The Abigail Adams Historical Society, Adams National Historical Park, and First Church in Weymouth will proudly commemorate the 250th anniversary by presenting the 250th Wedding Anniversary Celebration Weekend of Abigail and John Adams, from Friday, October 24 through Sunday, October 26.

Events will be held at the Abigail Adams Birthplace, 180 Norton Street, Weymouth; The First Church in Weymouth, 17 Church Street; and Adams National Historical Park, 135 Adams Street, Quincy.

Open to the public, this series of events will span three days.

The public is invited to wear eighteenth-century attire to the events.

This is just the first event listed in an extravagant unfolding throughout the weekend: On Friday, Oct. 24, a living history presentation welcomes the public to travel back in time and witness the presidential couple on their wedding day.

Abigail Adams descendant Abigail Elias LaCroix prepares for the wedding at Abigail Adams Birthplace, then travels by horse and carriage to The First Church, where a commemorative wedding will be held.

Reenactor Michael LePage portrays John Adams, and Henry Cook portrays Abigail’s father, the Reverend William Smith, who officiates the marriage.

Students of Weymouth schools and the public line the route to wish them well.

Admission is free; reservations are highly recommended, seating is limited to capacity. Event will be held rain or shine. The public is invited to wear eighteenth-century attire to the wedding reenactment and reception that follows.
